Other Refuge Partners

The National Wildlife Refuge System is committed to building partnerships which encourage conservation and protection of our natural and cultural resources. St. Croix Wetland Management District is a partner in the Western Prairie Habitat Restoration Area (WPHRA). The WPHRA was established by the State of Wisconsin in 1998 with the goal of restoring 20,000 acres of wetland and prairie, 10% of the original 200,000 acres that occurred in portions of St. Croix and Polk Counties prior to European settlement.
